Just wondering if there’s ever been a government like ours so dedicated to spend our blood and treasure on “allies” that hate our guts.

As a hybrid owner, I’ll gladly scrap those reserved hybrid spaces in exchange for a little courtesy from the gas guzzler folks. Revenge via pollution, what an attitude!

The trigger bill steals public money and gives it to Jeb’s friends without a gun. How clever.

Coming soon to Colorado: California!

If women stressed how their innate strengths complement those of their male co-workers instead of focusing on confrontational assertions of overall gender superiority, the equal playing field for recognition and organizational advancement we all desire might be achieved a lot sooner.

I know five brilliant local teachers who recently left the classroom because of Florida’s “reforms”, yet our leaders say it isn’t so.

“Zero tolerance” is a policy designed to overcome the inability of administrators to use common sense.

Go against striking unionized teachers in Strongsville, OH, and flyers with your personal info show up all over your neighborhood. All in the name of safer schools, right?

No worries about me carrying a knife on a plane; I’ve never had one that small and I’ve been carrying one since I was 10!! Oh, did I mention that I’m a 60+ wife and Mom!

If Al Gore is its face in America, Al Jazeera needs a good plastic surgeon.

Why didn’t FSU football obtain the College of Cardinals for the 2013 schedule? The Redbirds would be a worthy opponent.

Is it true that people who are avid fans of a sports team suffer from severe mental disorders?

With changes being made by Homeland Security, will TSA discontinue using the Porno-tron scanning machine?

It seems that Renee Miller’s real agenda is to destroy The Shelter and a very honorable man.

Hopefully our elected geniuses will enact a law prohibiting underwater smoking in Florida’s water bodies.

Paper delivery folks should be aware as they drive in the wee morning hours that school kids are somewhere out there waiting for buses.

Perhaps everyone associated with “The Shelter” should be required to read George Orwell’s personal experiences of homelessness and its problems. Sadly, nothing much seems to have changed since his gripping account called “Down and Out in Paris and London” was published in 1933.

No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message; however, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

A kid at Publix aimed an assault banana at me! I would’ve taken him out but my Pop-tart jammed.

Sorry Bob, but if you don’t like me using an AR-15 to hunt with and defend my home, you’re really not going to appreciate the claymores in the rose bushes.

Woof! Woof! on your 30th Anniversary week. Big congratulations to Dr. Scott Dugas and staff at the Killearn Animal Hospital. Thousands of 2 legged and 4 legged customers thank you for 30 years of compassionate service.

What Florida needs is a law requiring deranged people contemplating violent acts upon others to take an anger management class before… Ooookay, I see the problem there… How about we go after sane people buying legal products instead?

Thank goodness! Your US Senate has passed a bill making the illegal purchase of a firearm a crime. Now, what to do about those legal purchases?

I heard a kid on the court at the park say he was gonna “take the shot.” I immediately hid behind a tree with my scissors and awaited the SWAT team.

If the media is really hard up to find something to bring before the public, skip the court clerks and look into Benghazi, absentee leadership, impact of reduced work force participation on unemployment, monthly multi-billion dollar shell games, etc…

Here’s an idea to improve Court Clerk services: have a bunch of media outlets make unnecessary busy-work records requests in every county! That ought to speed things up!

If any of the released “Sequester” illegal aliens commits a major crime or kills someone, Obama should be charged with treason and be impeached.

The image of my elementery school Catholic Nun teachers slinging a Colt Peacemaker from their belts is too funny..when recess is over, it’s OVER..

Had the teachers in South Dakota been armed when I was growing up and going to school there, I might have actually studied a bit..

Other than with a look of exasperation, I don’t know how to respond to folks who declare that they “don’t like this new time.”

It’s not clear to me what the benefits of Daylight Savings Time are other than to harrass amateur astronomers trying to see the stars at night. Can anyone at the utilities department tell me if there is a shift downward in overall electricity usage when we do the “spring forward” trick? If not, lets just get rid of it. It’s known that the week after the change there are more accidents and lost sleep.

If the state workers lose their only good perk, who will we get to do all of the state’s dirty work?

The GOP must have invented the “unconditional surrender” terms, that’s what they call negotiation.

Just learned a new word,imbecilities. From now on it will serve as an all purpose explanation for people mwho dont agree with me

Doonesbury is to Mallard Fillmore as bath salts are to smelling salts.

I do not like guns. In the U.S., 31,000 die each year from gunshot wounds (18,000 are suicides). Nearly 100,000 die each year from hospital acquired infections; more than from any other disease or cause.

To our military leaders: Get rid of the ever more costly and nearly worthless F-35 and invest the money in drone technology.

Scheduling an FSU vs FAMU football game may be moot unless FAMU soon gets its act together after years of mismanagement ,scandals and crises as there may only be one enlarged state university in Tallahassee and its symbol of athletic prowess won’t be a reptile.

Charter schools serve fewer disabled and ESL students; and they kick out students with disruptive behaviors. Public schools are where these children end up. Teachers are evaluated on their performance. The goal is not quality education. The goal is to eliminate the union and public schools.

When FAMU plays Ohio State in football, the players will feel the pain while the school counts the gain.

So, now state workers will have to contribute to their own pensions. I did it for years. No sympathy here.

Already thinking about basketball season tickets for next year to watch Okaro, Ojo, and Bojo!

So the Shelter had too few employees for the population it served and now it has problems. The State of Florida has the fewest employees per capita. It’s only a matter of time.

Worried FSU & FAMU won’t get a long…BINGO!

FSU vs. FAMU football? What has Ensley been smoking?

If you’re too open minded your brain will fall out.

Memo from government to aspiring entrepreneurs: Profit will soon be illegal and “you didn’t build that!”

Sounds like The Shelter needs to hire an off-duty cop to protect the guests from the staff.

Government in the sunshine is a noble effort. Problem is what happens after the sun goes down.

Weatherford’s two prong attack – take away the retirement state workers get now, and deprive them of Medicade, which they will need after retirement.

I was an hour late for work today, but I promise to come in an hour early when daylight saving time ends. OK?

No matter how politicians and media mice fudge the numbers, TRUE unemployment is around 14%.

Obama has finally gotten our labor participation rate down to the dismal level achieved by Jimmy Carter during his presidential tour d’ farce.

I have several friends who have been laid off,…. the one thing they have in common,…..THEY ALL VOTED FOR OBAMA.

I can hardly wait until Jeb runs in 2016, so I can vote against him again!!

We need a process for declaring “Moral Bankruptcy” for some of our politicians and executives.

You’re an American, not a “hyphenated American”, period. Using any other label only adds to your isolation.

Our Legislature doesn’t trust our elected School Boards to run our school or our Congress to pay their bills. As elected officials they should know who to trust.

Anyone else notice that Barron wants $15 million a year to improve FSU’s rankings among public universities; didn’t FSU just spend 15 million for an indoor practice facility?

Would have been nice for the forest burning people to have given us at least one weekend without coughing our lungs out and tearing from the smoke, guess there were no budget cuts for their matches.

Billionaire sports team owners pay millions to players, but want taxpayers, some of whom live hundreds of miles away, to finance their stadiums. Do not let it happen.

“Analysts say North Korea is years away from mounting a nuclear warhead on a missile and directing it….”. Think Pearl Harbor in WWII. Would Japan attack the US?

Sunday morning at 2:00, the country finally moved “forward” for arguably the first time since the election.

Does anyone else see the irony of Sen. Rand Paul droning on and on for 13 hours … against drones?

Maybe we could get Blackwater to run our privatized schools.

An upscale housing division loses the lake it is noted for and named after but the Democrat doesn’t think it is news. No wonder readership is dwindling.

Evidently the Zing!er and you too are unaware that Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion. So much for being up on things. It’s understandable though. You’re just a newspaper.

Daylight Saving Time is here, now the digital clock at the storage facility on Capital Circle NE by Mahan Drive will show the correct time until next October whrn we fall back.

Why carry an article about lighting we can’t even buy in this town? We could buy it in Gainesville or Panama City, but not here.

Asteroid alert! Have NASA send all members of congress to intercept the asteroid. Once on board, there is no way it would come down to earth.

When did spending within your budget become a crisis? When governments began borrowing money they never intend to pay back.

I see that there is another asteroid making a close fly by of the earth. More proof of global warming.

HELP. I need a new roof but first I need a return call from a roofer.

Jeb! You drank the Tea Party kool-aid. Shame on you.

I’ve only been a Tallahassee resident for four years, but even I know Kate Ireland was a naturalist committed to preserving the Red Hills Region between Tallahassee and Thomasville, not an actress. Turn off the TV and learn a little local history!

Note to Mark: I’ve set my clock forward to 2014. I’m fully employed, have a nice retirement planned, the government has a surplus, and ….

Teachers to carry guns in public schools. Communities considering ordinances making gun ownership mandatory. Do people really believe more guns is the answer to Sandy Hook? How said for our nation.

Can’t see Mrs. Jeb Bush as First Lady of the US. Didn’t see her as First Lady of Florida. No, really, didn’t ever see her.

Republicans want government employees’ retirement in stocks so they will support tax breaks for corporations and the rich.

I am an old fashioned Republican who respects the rights and dignity of all people; therefore I vote Democratic these days.

And after the Dolphins Stadium bill is eventually approved, how many more professional teams in Florida will rightfully come and ask for their share of state money. Let Sun Life pay their own tab.

Interesting how they go about selecting a Pope. I always thought the title was automatically bestowed on the oldest Cardinal.

Couldn’t articles about Red Hills next year be delayed until Red Hills this year is complete? Tacky.

It’s a travesty of justice! I sure hope those poor equine are found innocent at the Red Hills Horse Trials.

I don’t think this Post Office is what Ben Franklin had in mind.

Every time I read the phrase “Under the Oaks” in the Democrat, I think of the phrase “under every green tree” in the Bible.

Saving $9 billion on FRS in fiscal year 2043-44 is about what it will cost to put a dike around Miami – if it’s not already underwater by then.

The FRS reform bill will never clear the what’s-best-for-the-state-workers hurdle.

When financial decisions are made based on political reasons, financial disasters are in Florida’s future.

Private sector employees had their pension funds stolen by company owners. Now the Republicans want to allow the Corporate Raiders to steal your taxpayer funded FRS.

The early bird may get the worm, but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese!

Let’s punish the FAMU band members who made a terrible judgment and not the incoming students who had nothing to do with it. It’s time for the innocent to have the opportunity to be band members. Let’s promote their careers.

Stae workers, stop complaining. GM’s CEO hasn’t had a raise in years. He is still making the same $9 million a year that he did in 2011.

Is there any better example of the supreme arrogance of the people we’ve elected to Congress than to hear so many of them preface their statements with “The American people”, as if they knew what you and I and everyone else in the country was thinking?

Hockey is a sport? Who knew? I just watch it for the fights.

Tried to shop local at a somewhat Upscale ladies apparel shop, felt like I was in a scene in Pretty Woman. Not trashy just jeans & sneakers. So when the five snooty women employees would not even speak to me I went home and made my $475 purchase on line!

Sorry Ms Pelosi, but tax cuts aren’t “spending” and don’t have to be “paid for.” Tax cuts are simply you and your ilk having your hands removed from our pockets before you’re ready to stop stealing.

Unemployment down to 7.7%!! Wow, we must have really run a lot of folks out of the workforce for that to happen!

I wrote an email to Congressman Southerland about the USPS. In his reply he kept using the year of 2011. Can you say “Out of touch?”

Just when the economy starts to turn the corner the Repubs give us sequestration. Imagine that. They’re determined to destroy America.

The new CIA director was sworn in using a copy of the Constitution without the Bill of Rights.

Is it legal to kill a terrorist with a drone strike in a NYC federal courthouse even if he’s NOT an American citizen?

A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens.

If unemployment numbers are down in FL because Scott say’s “It’s working” but unemployment numbers are down everywhere else because of Obama’s policies, does it matter if anyone is in office?

The Stock Market is up due to the flood of money from the Fed to the banks, increasing our deficit, and is not due to a robust economy.

If the Florida legislature is serious about reducing smoking in the state, then pass a law ordering all smokers to stop or be executed.

An absolute divine truth: alm, intelligent, ethical, educated people would never dream of serving in the Florida legislature.

If I had no values, no principles, no ethics, no morality then I would unequivocally support the Florida legislature.

It has been such a pleasure to watch the FSU Women’s Basketball team, especially Alexa Deluzio. Good luck to you all in your future endeavors.

If Chavez had been a little nicer to the U.S. he could have come here for health care. Maybe he would still be alive !

If Florida were like most other states and had our electoral college votes by US Congressional Districts rather than “winner take all” as we do now, Mr. Romney would be President and there would be no Sequester and furloughing 60,000 Border Guards for 14 days/month.

I voted for Mitt Romney because I wanted the stock market to go up, and it worked!

In 1974, Barry Goldwater told Nixon the jig was up. Let’s hope there’s an equivalent Democrat when the time for change arrives.

How ironic that a right wing conservative organization like NASCAR would have gag orders in place that are similar to those of communist governments.
